We have written about climate change in previous articles. This phenomenon is damaging ecosystems throughout the world with serious implications for human well-being. According to important research, quantifying the benefits of reducing emissions requires understanding the costs. However, the unique and non-market nature of many goods provided by natural systems makes them difficult to value. ...
Scientists are highlighting the increasing impact of the food we eat on the environment and climate change. As we have said in a previous article on sustainable eating, food is responsible for around 30% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Food and agricultural systems Food also has an impact on water and land systems. At least 70% of freshwater ...

The richest diversity of marine life on Earth is said to be in the tropical water at the equator. Indeed, it has vibrant coral reefs and large aggregations of tunas, sea turtles, manta rays and whale sharks. This number of marine species naturally diminishes as you head towards the poles.
